Lin Yi: "However, there are limitations. The scene that is being rewound must be one that you were present in, and once the rewind begins, you'll automatically play the role of yourself in that scene. But at that time, you'll have your own thoughts. You can do things differently than before."
The Ice Emperor listened with some astonishment and quickly asked, "If I return to that scene and do something different than before, will everything that happens afterward also be affected?"
Lin Yi nodded, "Of course, the essence of this reward is actually changing history—within the past 15 days. If within these 15 days you've done something that you regret, you can use the scene rewind to return to that time and then make a different choice from before."
The Ice Emperor was completely stunned and after a long while, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Change history?!"
If you were to ask her if she had any regrets over the past 15 days, there certainly were!
Lin Yi glanced at her and said, "Don't get too excited, I haven't finished explaining the limitations."
"The first limitation is that the scene you rewind can only be from within the past 15 days. The second limitation is that the scene must include your presence. The third limitation is that the area covered by the scene rewind can't exceed 50 square meters. The fourth limitation is that the scene rewind can only happen for five minutes. The fifth limitation is that once you have used a scene rewind, the next time you can use it is after half a month, meaning the cooldown time is half a month."
The Ice Emperor listened with her mouth agape, not expecting there to be so many restrictions. But then again, it made sense since this was a reward that could change history. It would be chaotic if there were no restrictions.
Lin Yi: "There's one more thing I need to clarify. If there are other people in the scene you rewind who were present at that time, those people will also reenact their roles from that scene and revert to their former mindset, without possessing their current thoughts. Only you will retain your current mindset, meaning only you will know that the scene has been rewound."
The Ice Emperor suddenly expressed her excitement, "That's exactly what I wanted!"
Lin Yi looked up at her, "It seems you have some regrets you need to go back and resolve?"
The Ice Emperor blushed slightly and nodded her head, apparently feeling a bit embarrassed.
Lin Yi didn't beat around the bush and directly flicked the gold-level reward orb to the Ice Emperor.
After merging with the reward, countless scene images appeared in the Ice Emperor's mind. These scenes flickered through her mind, each confined within 50 square meters and all of them including her own figure.
In fact, the Ice Emperor had already made her scene selection after understanding the reward's function.
She picked one, and the reward took effect instantly. The scenery before her eyes suddenly became hazy. It seemed like it was being replaced, or rather she had returned to a scene from one of the days past.
The scene the Ice Emperor had selected was that of a previous assault.
Quickly, the Ice Emperor noticed that her position had changed.
It wasn't just her—also the attackers who were watching below, including her sister, the Snow Emperor. At this moment, the Snow Emperor no longer held the Little Snow Maiden in her arms.
And the Gua Sha Masters outside were watching the unfolding scene with amazement. Their position was beyond the 50 square meters, so they were not included in the scene rewind.
"Sister, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and choose an attribute to increase!"
The Snow Emperor shouted anxiously from below, as if thinking that if the Ice Emperor didn't act soon, the attribute panel would disappear.
Bi Bidong spoke up, "Since Luck Value cannot be chosen, then these 5,000 Attribute Points should be added to the attribute that has the lowest basic value."
Thousand Waves said, "The lowest… That would be Charm, reproductive desire…"
Gu Yuena: "What's wrong with this guy, standing there dazed after the attack? Did the fight knock them silly?"
…
Listening to the you-say-I-say from below, the Ice Emperor was astounded.
These were the things they discussed that day!
She had actually returned to the scene of the attack that took place on that day!
That day was the very one when the Ice Emperor had gained the ability to add five thousand points to a certain attribute, but because she had overestimated her height, her last slap had landed on her reproductive desire, tormenting her ever since.
Determined to change history, the Ice Emperor once again marched towards the attribute panel during this moment in time.
"So you've returned to this moment, have you decided where you want to add these 5000 points to your attributes?"
Startled by Lin Yi's voice directly in front of her, the Ice Emperor took a step back.
"Senior Lin Yi also retained his current thoughts like me?!"
She exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Yi: "What else, I've said that very few rewards work on me."
Bi Bidong frowned, "What are they talking about? Why suddenly I can't understand?"
Thousand Waves shook his head in confusion as well.
The Ice Emperor, her face flushed, lowered her head, thinking no one would know about her regret; yet Lin Yi had found out.
Well, she had already embarrassed herself enough in front of Lin Yi, so one more time didn't matter.
Standing in front of the attribute panel, this time the Ice Emperor didn't stand on her tiptoes, but instead jumped up high and slapped her hand on the Charm attribute.
After landing, she exhaled, relieved that the weight in her heart had finally been lifted.
The effect was immediate; the heat she had constantly felt in her lower abdomen vanished, and all her senses seemed much clearer. This was the normal feeling of reproductive desire, the original sensation!
The change was that the Ice Emperor's looks became even more delicate, and she grew slightly taller, becoming more slender. She transformed from cute to beautiful, her demeanor shifting subtly. She who had always been overshadowed by the Snow Emperor's aura had now surpassed her sister, astonishing everyone present.
"While I didn't really want Ice Child to choose the Charm attribute, it seems like a good choice after all..."
The Snow Emperor was genuinely happy seeing her sister become even more beautiful.
Soon, the five-minute scene retrospection ended.
The surroundings became blurry and indistinct once more.
The newly transformed Ice Emperor left everyone present speechless for a quite a while.
Thousand Waves widened his eyes, "What happened?! Did you just use scene retrospection? How come I didn't feel it?"
"It must have been used because the Ice Emperor just now was not like this…"
Qian Renxue murmured.
"If that's the case, it seems that we were all characters within the scene retrospection, so we don't have any memory of what just happened."
"Then which scene did she retrospect? Is there a knowledgeable brother who can tell us?"
The Ice Emperor's face was overcome with embarrassment.
